You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Tried the search function and google but can only find lots of "yes you can ride there" and loads of roadie "it's a great ride up" info
I know you can ride there as me and the lads gave it a go last year, trouble is we got hopelessly lost as we didn't have a trail map and there were no signs. I was expecting it to be like the trail centres where you just follow the colours, but by the time I could get a 3G signal we were in the next valley closer to Aix le Bain than Annecy and we had a 25m ride home on a main road !! Not fun and the wife was less than impressed when we turned up 3 hours late.
So to save a repeat of last years fiasco does anyone know where I can get a trail map, or even if there is such a thing?
There is a service bus put on especially to take you and your bike up the 16km to the top so I'm guessing there must be some kind of official trail network but I couldn't find anything last year and have drawn a blank on the net so far thus year. No reply as yet from the tourist info office either 🙁
Or am I just going to have to get a proper os style map and take it steady ?
Cheers
Try having a look on [url= http://singletrack.fr/sentiers/sentiers-massifs.php?massif=1 ]here[/url] and also look at the French IGN maps online (you need to switch on IGN) [url= http://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/accueil ]geoportal[/url]
Also in my experience you can only get the local VTT trail maps at the tourist offices and not online
No official trails I know of, but there are some outstanding DH trails off the top that almost certainly aren't on any map.... I had a local to guide me though.
